CAMERA: LA Times' Bogus Claims on Biblical Bethany - 'Longtime Los Angeles Times reporter Edmund Sanders recently arrived in Israel from Africa, but it took him no time at all to pick up on an old, familiar Mideast storyline — the privileged Jewish settlement hems in the deprived indigenous Palestinians who lack basic needs, including water. Many of the articles in this vein, such as the December 2007 piece by the Los Angeles Times' Richard Boudreaux, are riddled with errors and falsehoods. (One of Boudreaux's falsehoods was eventually corrected.) Sanders' July 6 article about Maale Adumim and Azariya proved to be no exception ("Israel's settlements in West Bank present a major hurdle"). He accepted bogus Palestinian charges about water, building and employment, apparently without fact-checking. The falsehoods are contradicted by official statistics published by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics...' [If the Pals are selling, the MSM is buying.]
